1. Alfabetisme:<\/strong>\u00a0Ongeveer 12% van alle vrouwen en 43% van alle mannen zijn geletterd in Afghanistan (het landelijk gemiddelde is ongeveer 28%). Het aantal leraren is gestegen van ongeveer 20.000 in 2010 tot iets meer dan 142.500 nu (2014).<\/p>\n

2. Nieuwjaar:<\/strong>\u00a0Afghanen vieren Nieuwjaar op 21 maart, dat 'Nawroz' wordt genoemd en de eerste dag van de lente markeert. Duizenden reizen jaarlijks naar de op drie na grootste stad van Afghanistan, Mazar-e-Sharif, waar de dag speciaal wordt gevierd.<\/p>\n

3. Nationale sport:<\/strong>\u00a0Afghanen willen dat hun nationale sport Buzkashi (ook bekend als Kok-boru of Oglak Tartis) een Olympische sport wordt. Buzkashi, ook wel de wildste sport ter wereld genoemd, is een teamsport waarbij een geit zonder hoofd over een doellijn wordt gegooid. Alle spelers rijden te paard. De sport wordt al eeuwen beoefend en wordt nu gesponsord door grote bedrijven zoals telefoon- en luchtvaartmaatschappijen.<\/p>\n

4. Po\u00ebzie:<\/strong>\u00a0Po\u00ebzie is een favoriet onderdeel van de Afghaanse cultuur en Afghanen vertellen al meer dan 1000 jaar verhalen in dichtvorm. In de op twee na grootste stad van het land, Herat, is elke dinsdagavond 'po\u00ebzienacht' waar mannen, vrouwen en kinderen samenkomen om oude en nieuwe verzen te delen, naar traditionele muziek te luisteren en tot diep in de nacht te genieten van zoete thee en gebak.<\/p>\n

5. Alexander de Grote:<\/strong>\u00a0Alexander de Grote (356 - 323 v.Chr.) herbouwde de Afghaanse stad Herat in 330 v.Chr. Hoewel hij 3 keer trouwde, kreeg hij maar van \u00e9\u00e9n van zijn vrouwen kinderen: Roxana. Zij kwam uit Bactri\u00eb, een gebied gelegen tussen de Amu Darya en het Hindu Kush gebergte in het noorden van het huidige Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Feit: De Afghaanse nationale sport 'buzkashi' draait om het over de finish krijgen van een geit zonder hoofd en wordt vaak een van de wildste sporten ter wereld genoemd.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. De Anglo-Afghaanse oorlogen:<\/strong>\u00a0Groot-Brittanni\u00eb verloor de eerste oorlog met Afghanistan in 1842, maar knoopte meteen daarna diplomatieke betrekkingen met het land aan. De tweede oorlog tussen de twee werd uitgevochten in 1878-1880 en resulteerde in een grotere Britse invloed in het land. In de laatste oorlog in 1919 verkreeg Afghanistan zijn onafhankelijkheid met het Anglo-Afghaans Verdrag (ook bekend als het Verdrag van Rawalpindi). Afghanistan heeft echter nooit deel uitgemaakt van Brits-India (en dus van het Britse Koninkrijk), hoewel de Britten in de periode 1980-1919 invloedrijke heersers waren.<\/p>\n

7. Leiders:<\/strong>\u00a0Sinds Afghanistan in 1919 onafhankelijk werd, zijn er verschillende leiders afgezet: 1 trad af, 2 stierven door moordaanslagen, 2 werden afgezet, 3 werden afgezet en 4 werden ge\u00ebxecuteerd.<\/p>\n

8. Latere oorlogen:<\/strong>\u00a0Sinds het eind van de jaren zeventig is Afghanistan betrokken geweest bij een aantal oorlogen, waaronder de oorlog tegen de binnenvallende Sovjettroepen in 1979 en de huidige oorlog in Afghanistan die begon in 2001.<\/p>\n

9. Osama Bin Laden:<\/strong>\u00a0De beroemde Al-Qaeda-leider Osama Bin Laden bracht een aantal jaren door in Afghanistan - hij steunde de oorlog van Afghanistan tegen de Sovjet-Unie in de jaren '80, maar werkte vanaf 1996 ook samen met de islamitische beweging Taliban. Hij be\u00ebindigde zijn dagen echter op 2 mei 2011, toen Amerikaanse special forces hem in Pakistan doodden op bevel van de Amerikaanse president Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

10. Nationale feestdag:<\/strong>\u00a0De nationale feestdag van Afghanistan wordt elk jaar gevierd op 19 augustus, ter herdenking van de dag waarop koning Amanullah Khan op 19 augustus 1919 de onafhankelijkheid uitriep.<\/p>\n
